Trigg County, KY – The beach at Lake Barkley State Resort Park in Trigg County is closed. Water tested there two weeks ago showed dangerous levels of e-coli. However, water tested last week showed no harmful bacteria. Tests tomorrow will need to again show no bacteria for the beach to be approved to open. Park Manager John Jordan tells WPSD says the e-coli detection isn't the only reason the beach has yet to open. Flood damage had also contributed to the closure. Jordan hopes to have the beach ready for the public before the July 4th holiday.
